1. Write Things Down
While you might be the kind of person that can remember every important date, meeting or event in your head, odds are things slip through the cracks sometimes. It’s for that reason that in order to get organized, you need to write things down.
This might seem like silly or common-sense advice, but it’s the key to getting yourself organized. Write down everything. Every scheduled daily regimen (down to the last night time vitamin), every meeting, every phone number, every birthday. Get yourself a planner and keep track of all of the ins and outs of your day. You’ll be shocked at how quickly things start falling into place. If you do it right, you might even find yourself showing up ahead of time to events, parties and family events…that is…if you want to.
